"Swift Shadow-Lock" 2.0

You forgot the link Constantine ;)

Wow, 3 breaker and no recursion. That's pretty brave.

As per the write-up, you can always drop Silencers (or Cloaks) to protect the breakers from Power Shutdown.

Please post links to the videos of the deck in action when they’re up!

@michaeln yeah, that's the plan! I lost x2 Cloaks to x2 Power Shutdown against a Weyland because I didn't have my Silencers out yet. :)

@mcpba yes, living on the edge! Krystian from Germany still can't wrap his mind around this deck :P

Yeah, I'm having a hard time thinking what you could even change about this deck. I love the all-in. I love the tech. I love the blue cards. Maybe, maaaaaybe find a way to sneak a bank job in?

@desertfox42 no need for it really. The economy in the deck is just fine. You don't need more money than it already has.

@Kelfecil, fair enough, just brainstorming ways to improve a slick deck. Is it crazy to swap the Sure Gambles for Dirty Laundries perhaps?

Hey @Kelfecil good Job once again! I still play my version of your shadow-lock since the first time you introduced it to us. The major change I made was the inclusion of Levy AR Lab Access in the place of Hades Shard, Film Critic and Notoriety. It Allows me to dig and burn events more freely, and as a backup plan for trashed stuff.

@gumed85 thanks man! :D Really honored to hear that you are playing my deck! I would love to know how it's working for you. I like the Levy in there, although I would feel as if it wouldn't be needed in many games. But that's just me and how I play the deck. :)

Its not allways needed, but when games drag for too long it helps a lot. Also, the corp player's face when I play it and get back all inside jobs, siphons and goodies :)

Oh and I play 2 Faerie instead of Same Old Thing. Very good for early checks when Switchblade is not online yet.

@gumed85 I thought about Faeries quite a lot but I figured I don't really need them if Switchblade comes online. But yes, it's a really good strategy, even though it kind of goes against the recursion that is already in the deck.

Congratz on the placing. How does the deck deal with CP Grail w/ Batty?

@tzukimi it doesn't, you need to avoid the Batty server and for Grail you need to build up fast with all your breakers as soon as you realize it's Grail. There are decks that just counter the fast strategy of this deck so bad but in general, an experienced player will find a way to pilot it fast enough to pressure and have access mid-game.

Ain't going to lie to you though, whenever I saw Batty, I knew I just had to win the psi game. It's a weakness in the deck since the 1st version.

I have the feeling that "Exclusive Party" event that is coming out in the next cycle will make this deck insanely fast...
